let's face it look at a country like yemen very little water there but then look at a country like say china there's a lot of water in some parts of the country and some of the western portions where you have a lot of agriculture it's very close to scarcity if you use the one thousand cubic meters for capital threshold so it's a relative term very much so. tony we're going to go ahead below that on that please. think singapore singapore only has five percent of the water that it needs it does therefore doesn't have the ten percent it needs for use at home and in jobs and it doesn't have any for the food. so for the half million people living in an area about the size of london or a small island. it is in fact a very prosperous country it proves that water in the absence of water in the scarcity of water doesn't determine outcomes poverty and poverty which normally derives from poor governance and organization of economies is the explanation for people's. being unable to gain access to the water they need for all because they need this whole what they need for jobs for what they need for food
